"I really doubt most MM are playing to win $500."

Actually, I would be happy to break even until I won the jackpot or a million dollar second prize.

That time frame is interesting. I may try that next time. I usually buy mine between 11 and 1 since feng shui recommends that time period.

I played my first lottery tickets in January when I was facing eviction and the powerball reached the famous 1.5 billion. I bought two tickets with the power play option. Didn't win anything. Since then, I've been hooked, but I've left powerball alone for mega millions and other $1 play games. I've been studying, researching, and reading almost weekly. I've played quick picks and used my own numbers (I usually win always choosing my own numbers for some reason, especially when I look at hot and cold number diagrams).

Ive played mega millions, hot lotto (I hate that game the most), Florida lotto, fantasy 5 Florida (actually loved that game, won the easy play the first ticket and then over $20 on the next numbers I picked). But then I bought 8 tickets the next draw and lost. Overall though, I like that game and Tennessee Cash. I've also played Colorado lottery, and pick 5. Colorado lottery has won me $2 a couple times.

I've been playing only random draw, and short of giving up lottery all together (watched 2 depressing YouTube videos telling everyone YOU WONT WIN, SAVE YOUR MONEY, ONLY POOR PEOPLE PLAY), I think I've timed myself appropriately to say if I don't win within 6 months, I'm giving it up. But then, my mom talks about how she always wins playing scratch offs.

I guess I don't have a specific question, but I'm getting discouraged. I know the only poor people thing is so untrue because a client of mine has his own business and a big house, and fairly disposable income, yet he was telling me how he can't seem to win one of the state lotteries lol. I'm wondering if I should quit playing random draws and change to scratch offs.

for some reason I like the challenge of coming up with my own numbers, but they make it too hard. I usually hit 1-2 drawn numbers in the same line EVERY PLAY. It's not uncommon I hit them all. Even if I play with 3 lines. I never spend more than $5-10. I know I should probably drop $25-30 on tickles, but I can't afford to lose that. Theres a local game that has 1-30 numbers and a 5 cash ball. I'm liking that game now because I've won $2 back to back.

but why is it taking so long to win more than $2 from MegaMil? I think their 1-75 number thing is outrageous, but I only play because for $1, it offers the best payout in the big scheme. But it seems almost as hard as playing Powerball.

I've been playing a lotto game of one kind or another since the 1980's. Back then Ohio had a lotto game that cost .50 per line. 2 lines for a buck and the odds were a fraction of what Texas Lotto is now. The best I ever did was 5 out of 6 that paid about $890. Then in Indiana, I play Lotto there and PB. Now here in Tx, 2 Step, Lotto, MM, and PB, among some other games.

Heck, the only way I'll ever make my money back is to hit a jackpot. But, I really enjoy playing, so that's worth something. If you're going to stress about not winning, you're in the wrong hobby.

Because of the terrible payoffs, you might need the second prize just to break even.

Once you've invested the time to develop the software to do the research, as long as you keep your data updated not much time is needed for research.

Put a buck or two down for Mega M and Powerball each week and forget about it. For a buck or two you're in the game. Most people who play dream of winning big. What the lotto is doing is selling you a dream...The dream of winning big can never come true if you aren't in the game...

Are you joking or are you serious?

Nobody wins any lottery just because they want to.

That's why people go to work.

You've been playing for a short period of time and you're expecting to win. Most people play an entire lifetime and never win.

I don't know how old you are. But I would focus on getting a steady job and finding a career that you enjoy. Once you've done that. You can alot a portion of your income to your hobby known as the lottery.

I hope you don't find my post mean. I'm just giving you good advice.

Playing MM & PB are like the the old crooked carnival with games in which you could be played until you literally lost a fortune!

I've had the same feelings in the past NeedyNotGreedy

The only biggish win I have ever had was for like £40 on the UK Lotto... it was one of the first few tickets I ever bought... ever since then I don't think I have ever hit the minimum win, it's pretty crazy!

It does get pretty annoying never hitting a single number or just hitting 1!

Nowadays I just buy 1 QP (we call them lucky dips in the UK) every now and then and if it's meant to be then I will hit it... if not oh well £2 down the drain... it does make it a little more fun if you hold out and buy them for bigger JP's only in my opinion..

Hope you win big!

£2.50 and a dream!

It's been known that a person can win the first time they play or after many years. And, in general the majority will lose. Luck is a bit of a taskmaster to many and especially system players. In general, and not saying anyone is desperate but desperation, excessive want, or lack is not the breeding ground for luck; however, some in those positions have won. EZ money doesn't always come easily. All the best!
